Call me obsessed, but almost every Gabriel "Fluffy" Iglesias video on my YouTube account is marked as "Watched". So when I entered The Star Theatre for his live show on Monday, I was hoping to have my sides split with original and new content.
I was not disappointed. Sure, Fluffy started off with some old lines - like joking about falling off stage and squashing audience members in the front - but I chalked it up to opening nerves, since he doesn't memorise his sets.
Instead, once he went into full swing, Iglesias was an absolute hoot. Here are the best moments of his show in Singapore.
4. When he couldn’t stop thinking about “muffins” and “donuts”
Disruptive audience members can take away from a good performance, especially when, as Fluffy said, they ruin the flow of the show.
The “muffin” and “donut” pair, however, added to Fluffy’s set in an unexpected and memorable way.
After getting heckled by “donut” guy, Fluffy frequently mumbled on stage, “Can’t believe he came all the way from Mexico to Singapore just to shout ‘donuts’ at me.”
He also took the opportunity to jokingly tell “muffin” guy off, saying, “You think “donut” guy is weird? Now you know how I feel. You were him before he was him!”
